The Saints will start their third year of training camp in Jackson, MS at Millsaps College on July 23rd.  More details inside...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The New Orleans Saints will report to training camp at Millsaps College in Jackson July 23rd, with the first set of two-a-day practices scheduled the next day.

The team will break camp and return to New Orleans August 12th, giving the Saints roughly three weeks to bake in the sweltering Mississippi heat.

This will be the Saints' third straight year in Jackson, a tradition that has met with mixed results. In 2006, new coach Sean Payton used the grueling getaway to set the tone for one of the most remarkable single-season turnarounds in NFL history. Last year, however, the Saints got off to an 0-4 start and failed to reach the playoffs.

All practices at Millsaps will be open to the public. Most practices begin at 8:50 a.m. and either at 3:40 p.m. or 4:20 p.m., though the schedule varies from day to day and is subject to change. The Saints have scheduled a total of 29 practices on campus, including some abbreviated special teams sessions.
